Game Market 1983

< EP. 32: Gift of God. (1) >

A few days from that. I found the Ueno award for the sounds of the Pentagon Soft.

After the fifth story of the Final Frontier series, he was already considered a maestro in the gaming industry's sound scene, and was one of the most famous composers to capture lyrical music like an orchestra in the game.

“Hey, Joon-Hyuk, what are you doing in the studio? ”

Ueno asked me with a curious look because it was not a place to visit unless it was time to develop the game.

“I'm planning a new game, but I have a favor to ask Ueno about it. ”

“About the game for me? ”

Usually when a game is created, the sound part is after the game is complete. Planners and composers often discuss and produce according to the atmosphere of the story, but it was very rare for the composer to come to him from the planning stage of the game… or unprecedented.

I sat across from him tilting my head and asked again.

“Yes, it is. What do you think of the music of the New Age genre? ”

“If you're in New Age, are you talking about music genres like Kuramoto Yuuki? ”

“Yes, that's right. ”

Kuramoto Yuuki was one of Japan's leading musicians in the New Age genre.

Like Louise or Romance, he was one of the most beloved musicians in Japan as well as the world through lyrical music.

Personally, I prefer the music of Hisaisi Joe in Vibrey Studio, but Ueno's musical taste is in Kuramoto Yuuki.

In fact, the most ideal musician in the game being planned is Yiru, Korea.

This is 1993. He was 79 years old. He was so young.

“Then why are you suddenly asking about the New Age genre? ”

“Actually, the main character of the game I'm planning this time is the pianist. ”

“A pianist? ”

The pianist sparkled and glowed the eyes of the composer Ueno in his protagonist's job.

If "The Street Without Me" was a story of preparing to leave a loved one behind, then the game that I was planning this time had a story that stood on the other side.

No one knew about the new project except the owner, Kawaguchi, and composer Ueno, to prevent it from leaking out from inside the Pentagon.

Thus, the super-popular content representing the Pentagon and the subsequent development of the 'streets without me’ that were all covered with social issues were very carefully developed.

I started working on the scenario with a separate writing room to get rid of the weight of the new piece sitting on my shoulders.

But there was someone else who shared my pain...

He was Ueno in charge of all the sounds of the Pentagon Soft.

I used to spend most of my time with Ueno because the main character's job was musician and his role worked very well.

The Bloody Soul created by Phantom Soft during the space in which a new novel was created was being sold at tremendous speeds in the acclaim of users and magazines.

Contrary to what Kamauchi used to laugh at at at the beginning of the launch, Raon was no longer just a halfway game in the release of the Pentagon Soft Games.

If there is a third party that wants to be launched in the Raon Platform, I always visited the company and did not spare development kits as well as any technical support, so the software is very robust, no matter how much it costs each month.

Among them, Bloody Soul and the game that was launched as Raon in 1993 were incredibly popular with users in the "Great Pirate Age 2" by Goei, the creator of the Three Country Series.

A memorable superb title for anyone who had enjoyed PC gaming as a child, it was an enormous title that provided just enough fun to sail the sea and trade or fight enemies.

Based on actual history, longitude and latitude, all the students who played the game at that time took out a textbook called "Social Widow," and rumored to be a tremendous help to play the game. For a while, the best seller ranking in the bookstore was "Social Widow," a middle school textbook.

And the wavelength was spreading to a similar level in Japan.

Released exclusively for Raon, the Great Pirate Age 2 has distinguished itself from other platforms by the addition of a data exchange feature to exchange treasure maps with friends, which has served as a benefit for mobile devices and has helped sell.

Thanks to this, I was able to relax and work comfortably.

“So... put together what you're saying, is this a beauty romance simulation that follows me off the street? ”

“Well... no. ”

“So... it's a piano game in a beauty love simulation? ”

“ · · · · · ·. ”

The piano game, though.

Maybe it was before a genre called rhythmic gaming started. Having heard all my descriptions, Hayashi made a strange look to see if he couldn't understand the game properly.

Then Morita, who was next to him, takes a long sigh, putting down her synopsis data.

Moisturizing tears fill Mauritan's eyes.

“There's no connection to the streets without me, but again, the story is unique. ”

Hayashi gives Maurita her thoughts as she wears her tongue.

“And then I started getting headaches again, thinking I'd just finished the second episode of Dragon Emblem...”

Maurita asked me instead of Hayashi burying her head on the table.

“Somehow you and Mr. Ueno from the sound team have been seeing each other very often since last year, and that's why? Honestly, sir, I'm disappointed. We were a team that created a street where I wasn't, and you kept it a secret from us...”

“I'm sorry. I had a hard time disclosing the scenario until I came up with the right one...”

A new project titled ‘Gift of God’ begins with a car accident for the protagonist who was called the genius pianist.

Dizzy sirens and people screaming.

Inside, the protagonist's face wrapped around the protagonist's hand is not hidden from the ambulance headlights.

Only her message, screaming for help to save the protagonist, is sprinkled all over the screen.

“Please, help him. Help me. God... please... please...”

And that moment. A strange thing happened to the character who lost his mind listening to her sad voice, which was a year before the accident.

Here, the story of 'Gift of God’ used a multi-ending scenario that varied depending on how much time this year was spent.

Hmm? Scenario too simple for you to imagine? So how about this story?

In front of the protagonist who returned a year ago, the protagonist who returned before dating the hero doesn't know who she was who held her hand before she died.

How are you feeling? Feeling better this time?

However, the story of God's gift does not end with just finding her.

And the next story begins with what she said one evening while walking with Yuki.

&

“Well... I passed!! ”

Yuki returned the scenario to me with a satisfied expression after reading all the synopsis on God's gift. But she lets out a long sigh and buries her head like it's lying on the table.

“Ah! It's unfair. ”

“What?”

“It's good to get the scenario before anyone else, but there's a big difference between knowing this story and enjoying it, not knowing it and having fun. ”

“Well, that, too. So why don't we just show them the next story? ”

“Ugh... I don't like it either. ”

“ · · · · · ·. ”

What am I supposed to do?

I put the synopsis back on the table and put it back in the bag.

“Joon-Hyuk, why don't you try a drama writer at the station sometime? God's gift is a pretty good story this time. ”

“I can't even make a game right. The dramatic anger of God's gift is better left to the station writer when the game is successful. ”

“I'm the writer from the station? ”

“If contact comes from Fuji TV, I'll see your face and think positive!”

“Oh, thank you. Mr. groom!"

“By the way, is the scenario really okay? ”

“Do you think it's okay to make the game as it is? It's just...”

“Just?”

Then Yuki sticks out his tongue and replies.

“If you're wondering what's behind it, I'll let you know if you can take a walk and buy me a green tea ice cream. ”

“What...? Tonight?”

“Winter and day have gone by, and I never get tired of seeing cherry blossom petals scattered by the night wind. It's raining tomorrow, so it might be the last time I see cherry blossoms today. ”

It was one spring day in 1994 when the basic scenario of 'Gift of God’ was completed.

After leaving the mansion in a light sweater with Yuki, the cold air at midnight felt very good.

“Ah, that feels good. ”

“The wind is blowing a lot, so it really is going to rain tomorrow. ”

So, there was a cherry blossom blossom blossoming in front of the Mansion, like a dance, scattered by the wind.

Yuki smiled at me, deeply slashing the dimples to see if I really liked the landscape.

“You see, you were good to come out, right? ”

“Okay, so let's talk about the scenario. ”

“Ahhh! I haven't even had ice cream yet! With my bare mouth? ”

“You came out to buy it. That's what matters.”

“No, I can't talk to you until I get ice cream in my mouth. ”

Then I burst into laughter as she pulled out her neck as long as I could see.

“Joon-Hyuk hasn't been able to walk like this since he was busy. So why don't we just cut to the chase for a second? Just until I get to the convenience store…”

Looking at Yuki with her hands on her waist, she gently crossed her arms and leaned against my shoulder.

“Then shall we go? ”

“Yes. Let's go...”

We slowly walked towards the convenience store, being hit by a delightful breeze of petals.

Just taking a few steps. I asked her, in case something like this happens again.

“Why don't I go and get you 30 of your favorite green tea ice cream? Put it in the fridge...”

“Oh my god!!! ”

Boom!!

Yeah... I thought I'd end up getting my back smashed...
